Jolla · Finland
Jolla’s core contribution is software. Sailfish OS is a European alternative mobile operating system, and Jolla has returned to hardware with the new Jolla Phone.
It is not a simple switch, but it is one of the clearest examples of European operating system sovereignty in practice. A non-mainstream platform that still lets you run many Android apps through Jolla AppSupport.
HMD · Finland
HMD is headquartered in Espoo and is best known for Nokia-branded phones, alongside newer HMD-branded devices. HMD has an official European manufacturing line for an enterprise version of the Nokia XR21.
It is not a values-first brand in the Fairphone sense; it is a more mainstream choice, shaped by scale and a security focus, based in Europe with some manufacturing in Europe for selected devices.

High quality Nordic pop that explores personal growth with a distinctive, powerful voice.
Fallen Leaves (Kuolleet lehdet) · Finland (2023)
Aki Kaurismäki’s quiet, deadpan portrait of loneliness and chance encounters in Helsinki. Minimalist, humane and unexpectedly tender, it offers a necessary pause in the middle of heavier themes.
